Leaving a toxic relationship is one of the hardest things you can do, but what happens after?
How do you rebuild your life, heal from narcissistic abuse, and find your voice again?
In this week's episode, I sit down with Maricruz Kwon, a lifestyle photographer + content creator who turned her survival story into a powerful form of storytelling.
Maricruz shares how leaving a narcissistic abuser shaped her work and how photography became a tool for healing.
We also dive into resilience, motherhood after abuse, and the first steps to reclaiming your power.
Maricruz’s journey is proof that healing is possible. Her story is a reminder that even after experiencing deep pain and betrayal, you can rebuild, reclaim your voice, and step into a new chapter with strength and purpose.
Healing isn’t linear, sis...but every step forward matters.
Whether you’re in the thick of it, just beginning your journey, or years into your healing, know that you are not alone, and always remember that there is a beautiful life after abuse.
